ONE of the problems before the recent
lnterb national Range Association was to
devise means by which the difference
between the price of beef on foot and in
the butcher shop could be materially
lesseted. 1t was maintained that the
mark PTS were controlled by wealthy COM
panies and that competition had no
Longer any influence in adjusting prices.
Befope and since the meeting at Denver
events have been in progress which may
result in important changes beneficial to
cattlemen and beef consumers. The Ohio
Valley Stockgrowers' association, includ-
ing a'large area of the Central States, has
been, organized principally 10 break up
unfair markets. The butchers of Buffalo
to tho number of six hundred have COM
bine3 against the Chicago dressed-meat
men,, But New York City is the seat of
the main fight. The Chicago syndicate
and tbe City Slaughtering company, each
armed with a $1OO.OO0,OOO. have hereto
fore divided the spoils equally Some
months ago a third power entered the field
said p be backed financially as well as
either of the others. This is the Marquis
de ny pres Company, whose plan when
perfected is to slaughter on the ranges
and Sell direct to consumers. They pro-
pose tothing less than to buy out all the
retaili butcher shops in New York City,
either for cash or stock, in the latter case
retaining the proprietor as manager if
satisft tctory. Where parties decline to
sell they viii establish new shops. The
new company has made commotion al

THE Senate is doing a great deal oi
undigniied growing in regard to al
legged dilatoriness on the part of the
House in the transaction of business. A
growl of this sort comes with a peculiarly
bad grace from the Senate. 1t should
remember when it so long obstructed
legislation by picking unnecessary and
undiginifed quarrels with the President
on the subject of privilege. The gleam Of
wisdom now striking the Senatorial
Solons is of the tardiest. The Senate
itself is largely responsible in the matter
of delays and an extra session.

Two Anarchists who have been serving
sentence on Blackwell's Island have
been released, and on joining their breth-
rem out of Jail were given an ovation in
the accepted Anarchist style. Incen-
diary speeches were made, the authori-
ties were hissed, and the long loud An
archist howl was fully howled. The two
ex-convicts especially distin guished
themselves, and said "that they were
more devoted to Anarchy than ever,
and that they were ready to go to the
gallows, if necessary" They will have
but little difficulty in exciting public
sympathy in the gallows proposition.

THERE is great probability that an ex-
ira session will be called for the purpose
of completing the business of the Fort V
ninth Congress. The called session will
probably be a short one, as the un-
finished business will not be of great vol
ume, and both houses will omit all mon
keying with the veto.

GEORGIA Republicans favor Blaine" I"
says a Republican contemporary. 1t
neglects to add, however, that it makes
very little difference indeed, who the
Georgia Republicans favor. Such is the
comfort the Republicans are already ex-
tracing in large quantities from the
outlook of 1883.

A REPUBLICAN exchange urges the
of Blaine in 1888, on the
ground that ''No man can go into con-
vention with anything like the support
Blaine has," Our Republican exchange
fails to grasp the situation. At the polls
is where the support of the coming Presi-
dental Republican candidate will be
lacking.

Mr.. BLAINE has not finally disap-
peared from the stage of American
politics by any means. 1t has been
ascertained that he is at present sharing
the seclusion of Doctor Burchard, of
"Ruin, Rum and Rebellion" fame, but
only long enough to arrange with the
reverend and:celebrated doctor the plan
of the Republican campaign of 1888.

somd violently moral comments on the
caredr OF AstrolOger De Leon, who has
recently been convicted and sentenced
for s!nding young girls to Panama for
immb bral purposes under pretence of OBJ
tainibg them respectable employment
The INelUS closes its virtuous essay as
folfoE us: "De Leon, that vile and heart
less treyer upon human credulity, drove
a odring trade in the shipping of young
WON fn to Panama, where they were led
to expect high wages in respectable EN-
ployhent, but only to be betrayed into a

the trials of the climate added to the

short as it was shameful. He was
thoroughly entrapped and exposed,

The lNe,CS need not go as far afield as
New! York, nor scrape acquaintance with
the Etranger De Leon, to find material
for Eirtuous screeds, The Utah peni-
tent Dry is much closer than the prison in
which De Leon is confined, and the faces
of pblygamous Saints therein are fa-
miliar to the NelCS editor. Let him talk
therefore about that he knows most of,
and base his next moral effusion upon
the tings daily before his eyes. "Vice

go oft of sight of Salt Lake City to find

posed, and now endures felon's DOOM"

sane-Rogers as an American adyenturer
whom he met in China. The merchant says
that during the Chinese rebellion in 1857, he
was captured by detachment of rebels and
taken to Shanghai with other Japanese pris-
oners. Here the rebels were overcome by
the Chinese troops under the command of an
American, who, the merchant has no doubt,
was none other than Kissane. He had Sc
cured the favor of the Emperor through his
shrewdness, and was raised to the rank of
general of the army. The young Japanese
was made Kissane's body servant, and with
him finally went to Europe, where they Wis
tied all the leading cities. Then Kissane
eturned to America to become solid citizen
of California.
These are the remarkable crimes and adj
ventures that are attributed to William K.
Rogers. If the lapse of thirty years may
have tended to make the circumstances of
this wonderful career appear more remarka-
Bile to those who are now relating them than
the strict truth warrants, yet these points are
undoubtedly certain that there has been an
Indictment for forgery against Kissane in
New York for more than thirty years; that
there has been an indictment for marder, by
burning the steamer, against him in Arkan-
sas for longer tune; that he has tried
through an agent to have both of these indict-
ments quietly mol pressed; and that kissane
is William X. Rogers, once Nicaraguan fill
buster and now wealthy citizen of Sonoma'
California. This man has lived a remarkable
life; it will he interesting to observe the re-
suits of the resurrection of the old indict-
ments

The only paper, so far as we have been
able to observe, that expresses regret over
the defeat of the falsely called labor candi-
date in Chicago is the Roclxland Opinion,
which doesn't place any credence in the re-
ports that his supporters were mostly Anar-
chists and Communists. The Opinion says,
"all the liquor interest and the gambling
hell ring were enlisted on the side of law
and order and aided to save society by de-
feating an honest, able working man, Mr.
Nelson, the Labor candidate for mayor, who
was pledged to suppress the gambling sa-
looms" The Opinions information about
the contest must have been evolved from its
inner consciousness 1t is different from
everybody else's. Even Mr.. Powderly in

The New York Herald thinks the inter-
State commerce commission has exceeded its
authority in suspending temporarily the OPP
Grafton of the long and short haul clause.
In its opinion the commission was author
lied to relieve complaining company from
the operation Of the law only sin special
cases, and after investigation by the COM
missioners. The law confers no power to
make temporary suspensions at all. Such a
construction of the law as the HereId sug-
gests would have caused great injustice, and
the commission is perhaps justified in strain
ing point to avert it.

Two Gentlemen Of Boston is the title of
another novel, which by some combination
of circumstances, appears at the same time
with the more cosmopolitan romance above
reviewed. Although this work lacks the
ease and elegance of the former, it has a
somewhat curious quality of intensity and
strength that gives it a degree of impressive
ness. The heroine, who tells her own story,
is the central figure around which the 9TH
ers are grouped, and there is some art in the
manner in which the literary quality of the
novel is made to refine and expand with her
mental growth. 1t would be very easy to
find fault, from the literary point of view,
with the Two Gentlemen of Boston; it lacks
grace and finish, it is NOT greatly different
from crowd of popular novels that people
persist in reading, and of which reviewers
take little note. But there is vitality in the
book that makes itself felt, and will cause it
to be widely read and well liked. Boston:

Gratis would have attempted to seat Tiiden
and Hendricks by force had they not feared
General Grant, vino was President, "and had
command of the army and navy" There was
a great deal of loud clustering at the time,
and no doubt the proposition to use force and
arms was seriously discussed in Democratic
circles. There is no doubt, also, that the
fact that General Grant was President and
the knowledge of his unfinching loyalty had
much to do with restraining the otheads
and preserving the peace. Judge Niblack's
statement comes nearer an admission Of these
facts than anything we remember 70 have
seen from a Democratic source. But it is
not true that General Grant stood in the way
of the seating of Tilden and Hendricks, in
the sense intimated by Judge Niblack.
General Grant did not stand for or against
either candidate. He stood for the preserva-
ton Of peace and the enforcement of law
If the electoral commission had decided in
favor of Tilden and Hendricks General Grant
would have seen them seated, and if neces-
sary. would have used the army and navy to
do it. There is no doubt of this. Judge
Niblacks statement implies that General
Grant was actuated by partisan motives and
is an imputation on his patriotism. AS such
we repel it.

The fact is that this statement is false. as

also shows that the requisition was first pre-

JUDGE NIBLAoK AND HISTORY,

At the recent consolidation of the two Dem
ocratic clubs in this city, Judge Niblack was
called on for some remarks, in the course of
which he is reported to have said:
II see 10 good reason why the Democrats
should not continue to hold the fort the same
as they did last winter during the meeting of
the Legislature. In 1876 every fail. minded
man believed that Tilden and Hendricks were
elected but the Democrats were unable to
seat them, because Grant was President at
the time and had command Of the army and
navy"
The first statement looks as if Judge Nib
lack were trying to put himself right with his
party. As an honest judge he was compelled
to decide against them in the lieutenant-gov-
ernorship contest, but he evidently desires it
understood that at heart he is as much of a
partisan as ever. His compliment to the
Democrats for s'holding the fort during the
meeting of the Legislature" is, in effect, an
Endorsement of their revolutionary proceed
ings and an expression of regret that the
eide against them. We regret that Judge
Niblack has seen fit to make this exhibition of
partisanship, even off the bench.
AS for the second statement, it was even
more undignifed, and what is worse, is un-
true. 1t is needless to recall the details of the
presidential controversy of 1876, but it is GER
tainly not true that every minded man
believed Tilden and Hendricks were elected.
There were hundreds of thousands of men,
as fair-minded as Judge Niblack, who believed
differently. The difference of belief was suf-
ficient to justify the creation of an extraor-
binary tribunal, the electoral commission, to
decide the controversy. The report accom-.
panying the electoral commission bill was
signed among others by such leading Demo
Gratis as Senators Thurman Bayard and Ran
som, and by Representatives II. B. Payne,
Eppa Hunton, Abram S. Hewitt and Will
lam M. Springer, all of whom Endorsed the
plan of settlement as '.just, wise and efficient,
and recommended its adoption. In the House
it received the votes of large number o.
Democrats, including Benoni S. Fuller, james
D. Williams, William S. Holman and Frank
lin Landers, of this State. These Democrats
would not have voted in favor Of settling
the controversy by an electoral commission
unless there had been a large and powerful
public sentiment opposed to the belief tina
Tilden and Hendricks were elected.
Judge Niblack's final statement amount
pretty nearly to an admission that the Demo
